Known Issue: Browser Configurations Not Saving Properly

I think this is a known issue, didn't you bring this up recently? One thing I can confirm as a tester just like you is that usernames and passwords are stored, but not cookies or browser configurations. i tried to set browser to open specific tabs and it doesn't save that configuration, but it does save usernames and passwords and recently visited pages on the homepage, unless you set your Computer Use to an Incognito Computer instead of a configured computer

Nitai B. I brought this problem to Rex during one of the office sessions, but not officialy in a post, and he agreed it was a bug. If you try to login with gmail in your Computer Configuration Mode, the session persists during the workflow. So the session is stored, and it should be. But with MS oauth specifically it doesn't work.

It's a critical problem to the company because it requires MFA. So our internal clients can authenticate once a day for example, but not every 10 min

Pedro J. Yep I remember! Yeah I think it probably has to do with how the Computer Use is saved. It seems like it can store rudimentary things like login and password from google chrome, but filling in 2FA prompts seems like another level.

Nah, unfortunately it's about the session/cookies. the 2FA is done manually. it's just not storing the session

Are you able to retrieve your 2FA code via Lindy with each new computer session? If you couldn't that seems like it would be a problem to me.

totally get this is frustrating but I don’t believe it’s a bug… just an extra security check that’s unavoidable at the moment

On my side, I could use Lindy Computer to log in to textline and view text messages I would assume, unless there was a built in integration. If yours goes straight to your cellphone I would imagine that's a problem.

Our operators can do the 2FA confirmation once a day manually, no problem about the 2FA confirmation (SMS). but not every session, which would happen every 5, 10 min. it kills the purpose of the automation itself But yeah, I appreciate the messages guys. Maybe it's not doable 🥲

Give it some time! I have hope they'll figure it out! I'm still hoping for a better situation to download files from computer use. currently it freezes after clicking the save button and never brings up the save file dialog. It works on Configure Computer though.
